• W313736802 abstract "Center for Advanced, Technologies opened in January, 1994 as a partnership between the school district and the vo-tech school in Altoona, a small city spread over a series of hills and valleys in western central Pennsylvania. Dominated by light industry and medium-sized businesses, Altoona also maintains its connection to the railroad, which was a major factor in the local economy during the heyday of that earlier form of industrial technology. * What the Center Offers Altoona Area School District and the Vo-tech School serve a community of both students bound for colleges and major universities and those who need advanced skills in order to compete for post-secondary school jobs offered by local and regional employers. Regardless of their future academic and career paths, prior to the opening of the center, students learned to use computers through a comprehensive school district-wide technology program that has been in place for several years. Center for Advanced Technologies was created to serve the full-range of school district and vo-tech students, while also providing a community education and economic development resource. Center for Advanced Technologies offers classes for students and the community (including parent-child and grandparent-grandchild programs), plus a popular series of summer camps and seminars for teachers. Perhaps most uniquely, the center also designs, develops and delivers multimedia training, sales promotion and public information packages to area businesses. It is supported by a number of local and regional businesses, plus national partners such as Apple, Bell Atlantic and IBM. Higher education partners include Penn State University, St. Francis College and the National Science Foundation-supported Synthesis Coalition, headquartered at Cornell University. Constructed and opened just seven months after its creation was announced, the center includes separate Apple and IBM classrooms, an extensive multimedia development lab, a T-1 connection to the Internet, a presentation center and staff offices. A PictureTel videoconferencing center was added in 1995. Altoona school board and staff envisioned a center that would expand the technological horizons of students and teachers, while also providing a tangible benefit for prospective business partners. We wanted to form true partnerships with businesses, based on delivering services, such as staff training and sales promotion packages they need in order to remain competitive in the marketplace, notes Dr. Frank Meloy, assistant superintendent of the district. The projects we have completed thus far for eight partners also provide our staff and students with the unique experience of applying multimedia skills and advanced technologies to the business market. * Study Investigates Its Effects What results have these investments of public and private resources delivered in Altoona? What lessons have been learned along the way? And how have attending classes, seminars and camps, or working with the center on projects, affected how students, teachers and business partners view new technologies? In order to address these questions, a research study was developed to determine how each population (students, teachers and business partners) view multimedia, computers and other new technologies as a result of their involvement with the center. methodology included face-to-face interviews with students enrolled in camps and the Pennsylvania Regional School of Excellence, and phone interviews with teachers and business partners. Those interviewed were randomly selected samples of each population. Questions assessed prior computer knowledge, experiences and attitudes to help determine how specific tasks (such as lectures or business presentations) were previously handled. Up-front expectations were compared to after-the-fact results; levels of comfort with technology were also assessed. …" @default.
